The last guy who reviewed this movie hated it so much that I feel that I must speak in defense of the film.

Granted, I may be a little predisposed to liking this movie since I live in Canada and work in the acting profession. I not only seem to be in the prime target demographic of the film, but being an actor in Canada, I also recognized just about every performer in it. (noteables include, as mentioned cameos by Scott Thompson and Dave Foley, as well as Daly Show Correspondents Samantha Bee and Jason Jones)

THE POINT of this movie is that the ACTING SUCKS. That's the point. Some people will get it, and some people just plain wont. There are many deliberately awkward moments in the film (in the tradition of British comedy giant Ricky Gervais) which many people will not like... ...but many people will find hilarious.

Bottom line. You'll be more likely to enjoy the movie if you're Canadian, specifically from Southern Ontario. If you know what "Marineland" is, you'll love it. If you liked "The Office" (British) you'll probably like the movie. If you're intoxicated in any way, you'll probably like the movie.

Or you'll hate it as much as the last guy.
